A historic fishing port on Cornwall’s south coast, Looe is now a lively town filled with shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. It’s old harbour is still home to a busy fleet of fishing boats, bringing home their daily catch to fill the menus of the local restaurants, and the iconic Banjo Pier offers the perfect viewpoint to watch the activity while tucking into fish and chips. You can try your own hand at fishing during your holiday in Looe, with chartered fishing trips and pleasure trips easily available from the town quay.
With several sandy beaches and so much to see and do, Looe is a popular choice for family holidays. Kids will love the simple pleasure of dangling a crab line off East Looe quay to see how many crawling crustaceans they can catch, while Looe beach offers soft sand and safe swimming. Hannafore beach in West Looe is filled with rock pools that are brimming with marine life, offering hours of free fun for families.
Catch a ferry to Looe Island, once a holy pilgrimage and now a sanctuary for wildlife. The highlight of your holiday in Looe will be spotting the playful grey seals bobbing up by your boat and sunbathing on the rocks. For a day out with a difference, visit the Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary, just outside Looe. Home to around 40 rescued primates, you can meet the monkeys and learn all about their conservation.
With the South West Coast Path running through the town, you can spend your holiday in Looe exploring this stunning stretch of coastline, peppered with hidden coves and old fishing villages. Head west along the coast path to picturesque Polperro, passing Talland Bay beach on the way.
Looe isn’t just a great destination in the summer. Book a festive holiday in Looe and join in with one of the best New Year’s Eve parties in the country. Join thousands of revellers who fill the streets in their finest fancy dress and watch fireworks fly over the beach, then, if you’re feeling brave, join the locals for the famous New Year’s Day dip in the sea.
Discover one of Cornwall's most popular seaside towns when you book a holiday in Looe.

July 2022
Great little pub just by the central car park in Looe. Alison is so welcoming and friendly, the fuss-free food arrives quick (with fantastic Gluten Free options for my coeliac husband) and tasted great. Doesn’t just ‘tolerate’ dogs and children, actively welcomes them. Wonderful little place.
May 2022
We enjoyed 2 lovely meals whilst in looe. Staff so friendly and excellent service. Meals were good.
November 2020
Fantastic food,lovely staff+very clean (pay friendly too)
August 2018
Nicely refurbished but a bit too much towards a wine bar rather than a "traditional pub" as quoted. Beer was fine but we skipped ordering food as menu aimed more at "trendy" options. Disappointing considering it is within a hundred yards of Looe fish quay, and it is the fresh fish and seafood that Looe is noted for.

Daisy's Café
(2 miles)
(16)
Pretty, retro style café in the heart of east Looe serving all day breakfasts, soup, jackets, large daisy shaped scones in five different flavours, cornish pasties (including gluten free options) cakes and much more. Open six days a week all year round, and seven days a week bank holidays and school holidays. Welcomes kids, dogs and muddy boots.
Daisy's Café, Castle St, Looe PL13 1BA (T: 07988 803315)
Daisy's cafe was absolutely fantastic. We love it, it was one of our main reasons for coming back to Looe. A little gem! Sam and Geoff are lovely. So dog friendly, our dog Flo was given sausage on every visit!
March 2024
Not open all year round! Since under new management times have changed, several times we went to eat there and they were closed. One time they were open went to get a cream tea, not even 2 o’clock and they had run out of scones. We won’t bother walking up the steep hill again!
February 2024
You must absolutely go here for breakfast, it's brilliant!
April 2023
Great cooked breakfast on our last day, well worth a visit. Very popular place.

Great little cafe, fantastic food and very welcoming.
August 2019
We stayed in Banjo Cottage - a few yards from Daisy's. Having read several excellent reviews of it wondered if it would live up to them. It did! Had a brilliant cooked breakfast there that set us up for the day. Will definitely visit next time we are in Looe.
May 2019
Perfect breakfast
October 2018
Delicious breakfasts (the chunkiest slices of toast you'll ever see!) and yummy homemade scones in different flavours (try the stem ginger with lemon curd & clotted cream - heaven!) Only a small number of tables but well worth waiting for a table if they're full.
June 2018
Good food and good service love it
November 2017
Small, cosy and (dog)friendly........perfect.
October 2017
We visited Daisy's twice during our week's holiday. A delightful quirky, retro little café, wonderful friendly service (well you can't fault a lady from the East Midlands!) and delicious food .... never had better scones!
September 2017
Really lovely place. Loads to look at. Tucked away but worth finding. Beautiful food.

It's brilliant already given it glowing review on TripAdvisor.

The Monkey Sanctuary
(Less than a mile)
(1)
Not perhaps what you might expect to find in Cornwall, The Monkey Sanctuary is a delightful opportunity to learn about its 36 inhabitants, all of whom have distinct characters and personalities. An active rescue centre dealing with individuals that have often not had a very happy start to life, the priority is always their wellbeing, but it’s also an opportunity for guests to meet them and learn about the organization, explore the gardens and cultivated meadows, shop or relax in the café. There’s also a play area for children, with views of the Cornish coast. The sanctuary is closed on Fridays, but otherwise open from March to September (dates vary from year to year, so keep an eye on the website). Prices start at £8.50 per adult and £5 for children, which entitles you to entry for a whole year.
Great place they do a lot of good work for the monkeys! It’s just sad to hear some of the stories of how they were kept!

Looe Valley Railway Line
(2 miles)
(9)
Linking the bustling market town of Liskeard and the picturesque fishing port of Looe, the Looe Valley Railway Line takes you on a journey through an abundance of landscapes from heavily wooded valleys teaming with wildlife to glorious estuary views as the river meets the sea. See the river full of wading birds such as Litte egrets, Grey herons, Oystercatchers and Curlews, before stopping in Looe to explore the beaches, restaurants, shops and pubs. Take a peek at their online journey planner for prices and timetables. Dogs go free (up to two dogs per person).
beautiful line but service not very frequent
August 2022
Brilliant little railway journey. Lovely oldie Worldie station. Beautiful scenery.
July 2022
Easy to book .The train rise itself is OK but mainly through woodland so not much too see apart from trees. The walk from the train station to the town is abit of a walk about 15 minutes .The town its self is ok but seems to be for older people ie the shops are very old fashioned. Personally we would not visit again .
July 2021
Totally brilliant. Loved it
July 2021
Delightful branch line, frequent + reliable service, lovely views of estuary, woodland, bluebells ?!
June 2021
Enjoyed our train ride, but was disappointed in Liskeard, got the next train back.
September 2020
we got a group saver ticket and was very happy with the price, but unfortunately our train was due to leave at 11:10. we were sitting on the train waiting and at approximately 11:40 the driver came from his cab and apologised that the loud speakers were not working and that the train was cancelled, so we had to wait until 12:22 on a very warm train.
September 2019
Lovely little train ride alive the river, worth while. Recommend travelling to Lisgard and getting a return to Looe, much cheaper to park that way!
June 2018
a lovely short train ride through lovely scenery. Liskeard was an interesting little town to potter in for two or three hours

Looe Museum
(2 miles)
(4)
Owned by the East Loose Town Trust, the Looe Museum is managed by a small community of volunteers, and gives a delightful insight into the history and character of the area. It’s an opportunity to develop your knowledge of the town and locality whether you’re a first time visitor or frequent tourist. They frequently house new exhibitions and take part in local events, acting as a supportive part of the community. In 2016 they celebrated the 150th anniversary of the lifeboats in Looe for example, by loaning some of its objects to the RNLI for a dedicated exhibition. Admission is £2 for adults, £1 for children, and £4.50 for families.
Very interesting and a friendly welcome. Lovely historic building
July 2021
Small museum but full of interesting artefacts. Well worth the £2 entry fee!
June 2018
Amazingly well-stocked, charming little museum, with efforts clearly made to interest both young and old. You can return as much as you like (for several months) on one ticket ... and to absorb all the information available, you may need to.
May 2018
The kids loved this compact museum especially the lady in the prison! We kept our tickets as you can return for free and they did, twice!! ????????

Millendreath Beach
(Less than a mile)
(1)
Millendreath Beach is a south facing beach at the foot of a wooded valley, in a sheltered cove with soft sand and lots of rock pools to explore at low tide. It’s connected to other nearby beaches by the South West Coast Path. Dogs aren’t allowed on this beach at any time of the year, and there is a reasonably sized car park a few minutes walk away. The beach is popular with families on holiday in Cornwall, and most of the surrounding area is occupied by a holiday park, so there are lot of facilities open to the public.
Fantastic beach with wonderful water sports facilities available, loved the sea kayaks!
July 2022
Plaidy Beach
(Less than a mile)
(1)
A small and pleasant grey sand beach with rocks exposed at low tide, Plaidy Beach is simply a nice place to visit and take in the scenery. There aren’t any facilities, and there’s no parking nearby so it’s one to reach on foot. There’s a slipway to the beach, but you will have to access it by walking along the coast path, parking at Millendreath or Looe and it’s worth keeping in mind that it’s quite steep from both directions. Millendreath is closer and the walk should take around 20 minutes. Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round, so it’s a charming place to take them for a walk while you’re in the area.
Great to walk to at low tide on the beach or at high tide via the footpath. Great dog friendly beach.
August 2018
Hannafore Beach
(Less than a mile)
(9)
Half a mile west of Looe, stretching along the coast, Hannafore Beach is a sandy, shingle bay with a rocky reef and views of St George’s Island. At low tide it’s brimming with rock pools, making it fun and games for the whole family to enjoy, and it’s a wonderful sun trap in summer months thanks to its south east facing position. Because of its location over the river, the beach never really becomes too busy, but equally there aren’t any facilities nearby. It’s popular with dog walkers as it’s amongst the few dog-friendly beaches in the area, and having explored you can extend your excursion to a stroll along the promenade or a potter around the coast path to the wonderfully scenic Talland Bay. There is roadside parking along the sea front above the beach, but it can be difficult to find a space. Alternatively, there is a large car park in West Looe, around 10 minutes away on foot.
Splendid views and dog accessible
July 2022
The best place to unwind
August 2020
Great for rock pooling

April 2018
Great beach. Good view of looe island. Loads of shells to collect. Lots of dog walkers tho!
August 2017
One of the many dog friendly beaches we visited lovely coastal walks to Talland Bay the nature reserve island is very interesting great refreshments available and not forgetting the free parking available all day which is very useful.
June 2017
Looe Beach
(2 miles)
(20)
In East Looe, the beach sits directly in front of the old town, sheltered by the Banjo Pier and overlooked from the east by the hillside of Mount Ararat. A good family beach that has something for everyone, at low tide the sandy location is safe for swimming although it’s recommended you steer clear of the river mouth beyond the pier. Unfortunately dogs aren’t allowed on this beach at any time of the year, but Hannafore beach in West Looe is dog friendly. The beach backs on to a seafront walkway which runs its length all the way to Second Beach to the east, where it tends to be less busy and it’s good for snorkeling. As it’s in the centre of the town there are lots of facilities and cafes nearby, but in the summer it’s a very popular spot and parking can be tricky, with traffic prohibited during these months, so be prepared for a bit of a walk.
Some days quite busy but great facilities and loads of activities
August 2023
Great, despite the early season seaweed, the tractor cleared it very well.
April 2023
LOVE LOVE LOVE
July 2022
All of the beaches around Looe are worth visiting - and the coastal path is a must. Fuel for the hike? Not listed in the reviews is Sarah’s Pasties which has the best pasties (we ate a lot of pasties during the week!). They were also one of the few eateries in the area which could provide something for someone needing a gluten and dairy free diet. We were able to preorder pasties that met her dietary requirements.
February 2022
Wonderful beach
December 2021
Safe and sandy beach perfect for kids
August 2021
I enjoyed the beach as it is very flat, which is important at 70, and I even had a paddle. The beach was very clean.

Such a lovely beach. A shame people didn’t socially distance or even attempt to do so.
August 2020
Spent a week at new year in this beautiful apartment. Everything you could possibly need was in there. Lovely comfy bed,spotless clean and the bonus of a sea view. Central for everything. Will definitely return.
January 2020

A wonderful place to sit relax eat an ICECREAM or a pastie, if the seagulls will let you! Perfect beach x
August 2018
You cannot fail to love Looe beach, early morning, during the day or for and evening stroll. A super clean beach.
May 2018
Lovely sandy beach. No dogs allowed but there is a small cove at the far end which allows dogs to enjoy their holiday too with a dip in The English Channel.
May 2018
Looe beach and seafront is cleaned every day (in season?) and looks good. A joy to sit and watch the sea and people passing by.
April 2018
Really good! Good sand and sea. Activities for the kids too. Difficult to get to cos no parking nearby.

Seaton Beach - Cornwall
(2 miles)
(9)
A spacious, grey sand beach that’s popular with families, Seaton Beach enjoys views across the green, surrounding countryside and walks in Seaton Valley nearby. At low tide the beach stretches all the way from Seaton Beach to Downderry Beach. There are facilities close by and there is are two car parks as well as road parking, but it does get busy quickly in the summer. The beach is great for surfing, but do be wary of undercurrents. There’s also a café and beach shop close by as well. Dogs are welcome at the beach all year round.
Lovely clean beach where we could walk our dog
April 2023
Beautiful beach, safe and accessible for all.
August 2022

June 2022
Had a wonderfull stay at meadow view, the spaniels Boston and Fynn enjoyed the paddock to run around in every day. The cottage was very clean and everything we needed was there for us. Yvonne and Dave were brilliant hosts, will definitely stay there again. Pat and Stu from Hampshire
October 2019
Great walking option, and dog friendly. Park at Seaton and walk all the way along the beach to Downderry. Nice option of a pub lunch on the way back at the Inn on the Shore.

Disappointing considering it is within a hundred yards of Looe fish quay, and it is the fresh fish and seafood that Looe is noted for.

Daisy's Café
(2 miles)
(16)
Pretty, retro style café in the heart of east Looe serving all day breakfasts, soup, jackets, large daisy shaped scones in five different flavours, cornish pasties (including gluten free options) cakes and much more. Open six days a week all year round, and seven days a week bank holidays and school holidays. Welcomes kids, dogs and muddy boots.
Daisy's Café, Castle St, Looe PL13 1BA (T: 07988 803315)
Daisy's cafe was absolutely fantastic. We love it, it was one of our main reasons for coming back to Looe. A little gem! Sam and Geoff are lovely. So dog friendly, our dog Flo was given sausage on every visit!
March 2024
Not open all year round! Since under new management times have changed, several times we went to eat there and they were closed. One time they were open went to get a cream tea, not even 2 o’clock and they had run out of scones. We won’t bother walking up the steep hill again!

Great little cafe, fantastic food and very welcoming.
August 2019
We stayed in Banjo Cottage - a few yards from Daisy's. Having read several excellent reviews of it wondered if it would live up to them. It did! Had a brilliant cooked breakfast there that set us up for the day. Will definitely visit next time we are in Looe.
May 2019
Perfect breakfast
October 2018
Delicious breakfasts (the chunkiest slices of toast you'll ever see!) and yummy homemade scones in different flavours (try the stem ginger with lemon curd & clotted cream - heaven!) Only a small number of tables but well worth waiting for a table if they're full.
June 2018
Good food and good service love it
November 2017
Small, cosy and (dog)friendly........perfect.
October 2017
We visited Daisy's twice during our week's holiday. A delightful quirky, retro little café, wonderful friendly service (well you can't fault a lady from the East Midlands!) and delicious food .... never had better scones!
September 2017
Really lovely place. Loads to look at. Tucked away but worth finding. Beautiful food.
August 2017
It's brilliant already given it glowing review on TripAdvisor.

Daisy cafe does the BEST breakfast in Looe, very tasty & proper doorstep toast!

The Monkey Sanctuary
(Less than a mile)
(1)
Not perhaps what you might expect to find in Cornwall, The Monkey Sanctuary is a delightful opportunity to learn about its 36 inhabitants, all of whom have distinct characters and personalities. An active rescue centre dealing with individuals that have often not had a very happy start to life, the priority is always their wellbeing, but it’s also an opportunity for guests to meet them and learn about the organization, explore the gardens and cultivated meadows, shop or relax in the café. There’s also a play area for children, with views of the Cornish coast. The sanctuary is closed on Fridays, but otherwise open from March to September (dates vary from year to year, so keep an eye on the website). Prices start at £8.50 per adult and £5 for children, which entitles you to entry for a whole year.
Great place they do a lot of good work for the monkeys! It’s just sad to hear some of the stories of how they were kept!

Looe Valley Railway Line
(2 miles)
(9)
Linking the bustling market town of Liskeard and the picturesque fishing port of Looe, the Looe Valley Railway Line takes you on a journey through an abundance of landscapes from heavily wooded valleys teaming with wildlife to glorious estuary views as the river meets the sea. See the river full of wading birds such as Litte egrets, Grey herons, Oystercatchers and Curlews, before stopping in Looe to explore the beaches, restaurants, shops and pubs. Take a peek at their online journey planner for prices and timetables. Dogs go free (up to two dogs per person).
beautiful line but service not very frequent
August 2022
Brilliant little railway journey. Lovely oldie Worldie station. Beautiful scenery.
July 2022
Easy to book .The train rise itself is OK but mainly through woodland so not much too see apart from trees. The walk from the train station to the town is abit of a walk about 15 minutes .The town its self is ok but seems to be for older people ie the shops are very old fashioned. Personally we would not visit again .
July 2021
Totally brilliant. Loved it
July 2021
Delightful branch line, frequent + reliable service, lovely views of estuary, woodland, bluebells ?!
June 2021
Enjoyed our train ride, but was disappointed in Liskeard, got the next train back.
September 2020
we got a group saver ticket and was very happy with the price, but unfortunately our train was due to leave at 11:10. we were sitting on the train waiting and at approximately 11:40 the driver came from his cab and apologised that the loud speakers were not working and that the train was cancelled, so we had to wait until 12:22 on a very warm train.
September 2019
Lovely little train ride alive the river, worth while. Recommend travelling to Lisgard and getting a return to Looe, much cheaper to park that way!
June 2018
a lovely short train ride through lovely scenery. Liskeard was an interesting little town to potter in for two or three hours

Looe Museum
(2 miles)
(4)
Owned by the East Loose Town Trust, the Looe Museum is managed by a small community of volunteers, and gives a delightful insight into the history and character of the area. It’s an opportunity to develop your knowledge of the town and locality whether you’re a first time visitor or frequent tourist. They frequently house new exhibitions and take part in local events, acting as a supportive part of the community. In 2016 they celebrated the 150th anniversary of the lifeboats in Looe for example, by loaning some of its objects to the RNLI for a dedicated exhibition. Admission is £2 for adults, £1 for children, and £4.50 for families.
Very interesting and a friendly welcome. Lovely historic building
July 2021
Small museum but full of interesting artefacts. Well worth the £2 entry fee!
June 2018
Amazingly well-stocked, charming little museum, with efforts clearly made to interest both young and old. You can return as much as you like (for several months) on one ticket ... and to absorb all the information available, you may need to.
May 2018
The kids loved this compact museum especially the lady in the prison! We kept our tickets as you can return for free and they did, twice!! ????????

Millendreath Beach
(Less than a mile)
(1)
Millendreath Beach is a south facing beach at the foot of a wooded valley, in a sheltered cove with soft sand and lots of rock pools to explore at low tide. It’s connected to other nearby beaches by the South West Coast Path. Dogs aren’t allowed on this beach at any time of the year, and there is a reasonably sized car park a few minutes walk away. The beach is popular with families on holiday in Cornwall, and most of the surrounding area is occupied by a holiday park, so there are lot of facilities open to the public.
Fantastic beach with wonderful water sports facilities available, loved the sea kayaks!
July 2022
Plaidy Beach
(Less than a mile)
(1)
A small and pleasant grey sand beach with rocks exposed at low tide, Plaidy Beach is simply a nice place to visit and take in the scenery. There aren’t any facilities, and there’s no parking nearby so it’s one to reach on foot. There’s a slipway to the beach, but you will have to access it by walking along the coast path, parking at Millendreath or Looe and it’s worth keeping in mind that it’s quite steep from both directions. Millendreath is closer and the walk should take around 20 minutes. Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round, so it’s a charming place to take them for a walk while you’re in the area.
Great to walk to at low tide on the beach or at high tide via the footpath. Great dog friendly beach.
August 2018
Hannafore Beach
(Less than a mile)
(9)
Half a mile west of Looe, stretching along the coast, Hannafore Beach is a sandy, shingle bay with a rocky reef and views of St George’s Island. At low tide it’s brimming with rock pools, making it fun and games for the whole family to enjoy, and it’s a wonderful sun trap in summer months thanks to its south east facing position. Because of its location over the river, the beach never really becomes too busy, but equally there aren’t any facilities nearby. It’s popular with dog walkers as it’s amongst the few dog-friendly beaches in the area, and having explored you can extend your excursion to a stroll along the promenade or a potter around the coast path to the wonderfully scenic Talland Bay. There is roadside parking along the sea front above the beach, but it can be difficult to find a space. Alternatively, there is a large car park in West Looe, around 10 minutes away on foot.
Splendid views and dog accessible
July 2022
The best place to unwind
August 2020
Great for rock pooling

April 2018

August 2017
One of the many dog friendly beaches we visited lovely coastal walks to Talland Bay the nature reserve island is very interesting great refreshments available and not forgetting the free parking available all day which is very useful.
June 2017
Looe Beach
(2 miles)
(20)
In East Looe, the beach sits directly in front of the old town, sheltered by the Banjo Pier and overlooked from the east by the hillside of Mount Ararat. A good family beach that has something for everyone, at low tide the sandy location is safe for swimming although it’s recommended you steer clear of the river mouth beyond the pier. Unfortunately dogs aren’t allowed on this beach at any time of the year, but Hannafore beach in West Looe is dog friendly. The beach backs on to a seafront walkway which runs its length all the way to Second Beach to the east, where it tends to be less busy and it’s good for snorkeling. As it’s in the centre of the town there are lots of facilities and cafes nearby, but in the summer it’s a very popular spot and parking can be tricky, with traffic prohibited during these months, so be prepared for a bit of a walk.
Some days quite busy but great facilities and loads of activities
August 2023
Great, despite the early season seaweed, the tractor cleared it very well.
April 2023
LOVE LOVE LOVE
July 2022
All of the beaches around Looe are worth visiting - and the coastal path is a must. Fuel for the hike? Not listed in the reviews is Sarah’s Pasties which has the best pasties (we ate a lot of pasties during the week!). They were also one of the few eateries in the area which could provide something for someone needing a gluten and dairy free diet. We were able to preorder pasties that met her dietary requirements.
February 2022
Wonderful beach
December 2021
Safe and sandy beach perfect for kids

I enjoyed the beach as it is very flat, which is important at 70, and I even had a paddle. The beach was very clean.

August 2018
You cannot fail to love Looe beach, early morning, during the day or for and evening stroll. A super clean beach.
May 2018
Lovely sandy beach. No dogs allowed but there is a small cove at the far end which allows dogs to enjoy their holiday too with a dip in The English Channel.
May 2018
Looe beach and seafront is cleaned every day (in season?) and looks good. A joy to sit and watch the sea and people passing by.
April 2018
Really good! Good sand and sea. Activities for the kids too. Difficult to get to cos no parking nearby.

Lovely beach and even when it was busy didn't feel overcrowded

Seaton Beach - Cornwall
(2 miles)
(9)
A spacious, grey sand beach that’s popular with families, Seaton Beach enjoys views across the green, surrounding countryside and walks in Seaton Valley nearby. At low tide the beach stretches all the way from Seaton Beach to Downderry Beach. There are facilities close by and there is are two car parks as well as road parking, but it does get busy quickly in the summer. The beach is great for surfing, but do be wary of undercurrents. There’s also a café and beach shop close by as well. Dogs are welcome at the beach all year round.
Lovely clean beach where we could walk our dog
April 2023
Beautiful beach, safe and accessible for all.

Great walking option, and dog friendly. Park at Seaton and walk all the way along the beach to Downderry. Nice option of a pub lunch on the way back at the Inn on the Shore.
